Defining and Documenting Construction Requirements: There's no Room for Mistakes

Abstract

This handbook is designed to assist base level programmers in developing Military Construction Program (MCP) project documentation that is accurate and supportable at all levels of review. Essentially, there are three steps in developing construction requirements: defining the requirement, documenting the requirement, and finally, validating and prioritizing the project. Chapter Two analyzes how the total space requirement is determined for a project. The primary sources of data are reviewed while calculations regarding manpower and administrative facilities are detailed. Chapter Three looks at the primary form (D3 Sheet) that documents the construction requirement. Following a careful analysis of the D3 Sheet, two other important forms for communicating the requirement are considered in Chapter Four. The front sheet 1391 and Functional Relocation Schematic further help explain the need for the project. Chapter Five discusses the course a project travels on the road to approval. Finally, the major points of the handbook are summarized in Chapter Six.
